Welcome to CodeRa 👋

One thing first, takes 5 seconds, and it's the difference between using CodeRa daily and forgetting it exists tomorrow.

// do this first

Pin CodeRa to your toolbar

Chrome hides new extensions inside the puzzle-piece menu. Pin CodeRa so it's always one click away while you're watching a tutorial.

1 Click the puzzle-piece icon in Chrome's toolbar (top right).
2 Find CodeRa in the list.
3 Click the pin icon next to it. Done — CodeRa now lives in your toolbar.
